Traditions of Death and Burial in Mexico
Fri, May 16 2025: 18:00 UTC
Burial records may be one of the least used records in Mexican genealogical research and yet are also one of the more easily accessible. Seemingly brief in content, these records reveal more than the dry facts of a person's death. Once placed in the greater context of traditions, church practices, and remembrances like Día de los Muertos, we gain insight into our ancestors' experiences with death and mourning.
